[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 417078, member: 3733"] first off is this going to be a single shot, or reapeater.? If it is going to be a repeater then load a dummie round to fit the mag box and have about .050" of room from bullet tip to front of box. Send that dummie to the smith and ask him to throat it so you are .030" aproximatly off the lands with that dummie. Not a smith in the world can give you an exact number to the thousandths. But with that dummie and a throating reamer he will get you real close. If you need more precise send it to ptg and have your own reamer made. If it is a single shot I would throat it to the shorter of your two calculations. Once it's gone you can't put it back, and as the rifle gets long in the tooth you'll always gain on that number. Typically guys get a bit wrapped up with the exact number, let your smith do the tough thinking. [/QUOTE]
